Concerning the bride price, you are paying for the present value not the past value. It's just like a football player, who keeps increasing in value and experience as time goes on. Compared to when he was young lol
TheAviator2000: I really need wise counsel and will try to make this post as short as possible
My girlfriend and I have been together since 2015. I left Naija in 2017 and since then, our relationship has been more of long distance except for the one time I came back. While I truly love her and wish to Marry her, there are some things that are giving me concerns and I would like to hear other people's perspective:
1- When I met my girl in 2015, I was an unemployed graduate wrapping up my NYSC. She was a fashion designer/Tailor and didn't have any formal higher education (University Level).
2- Fast forward to 2021, I am a consultant in a fortune 500 company and have grown so much in any measurable aspect of Life. My girlfriend is still a fashion designer and not too long ago, I helped her get a shop in Lagos and Have been sending her steady allowance (at least average of 40-50k a month).
Here are the things that have given me a lot of worries: 1- I know everyone will not get a formal education and I am fine with that but my girl has not been hustling/pulling her weight in her chosen career despite my extra support.... I sometimes get the feeling that all she wants is to get married and get comfortable but I want an industrious woman. Formal education or not, I want a woman that can hussle!
2- Recently, I pretended to be unemployed because of Coronavirus just to see if she would send me some money (even if its 10k) or really, anything she can afford. Looking at the fact that I had always supported her month after month, I wanted to see if she would do the same for me. I pretended to be unemployed for almost a month and did not receive any form of financial support from her. Even when I directly asked her to loan me small money, she would play it off by saying something like "I go write you check for 1 million sef".....
I am thinking of breaking it off at this point by slowly letting her go but before I do that, I want the perspective of people here. Please, no insult! I am genuinely seeking your insight. Be kind!
ps. My family are doing really well and I support anything they do. I have never neglected my family in anyway, shape or form.
You didn't say anything bad about this girl. Just that u want her to become successful in her tailoring business and she doesn't give you money. But just wondering how you dated someone for 5yrs and still doubt if you can marry the person. Do you need more extra years or what? No matter what you do, these things you are worried about won't change. I'm sure advantages of been with her outweighs leaving her.
I'm in same situation too about been a worker for God. I have been told couple of times. But the good part about mine is that, I was told when the time comes I will know. But right now I don't even have interest in any church activities. I can't remember the last time I went to church on a Sunday. I just don't find it interesting, but I try to attend mid-week services which is mostly prayers. I just find Sunday services very boring.
That child is not yours sir. It was a serious cover up between your wife and her mother. That's why you were given ultimatum to marry her.
Your father saw something wrong in the hurried marriage that's why he kept asking you if you are sure that's what you want to do.
Sir, inform your father first.
But I will want you to tell your wife. I don't know how you will carry that revelation in your mind till she delivers and you will be your normal self. For me, I don't know how to pretend. My body language will tell you something is wrong. Tell her abeg, heaven won't come down.
There is a way to table every issue to give it a soft landing

An episode of paternity court with Lauren Lake, brings a case of a lady 25yrs who claimed she knew right from when she was 5yrs old that her dad that have nurtured her right from time is not her biological father. She said she overheard her mum and her dad arguing about her paternity. The mother rightly said to the father and I quote "after all this is not your daughter"
It turns out the man was not the biological father. At the end, the lady in question said he knew him as his father and he will remain as his father. despite the result of the paternity test.
Please, I heard some applicants saw their result on the day of the computer based test was conducted, I didn't see mine. Did any applicant see any result on the screen?
I also heard some are getting emails confirming their progress into the next stage.
I hope someone here help me answer these questions.
